Best 7 Gruyere Fondue Dinner Recipes

GRUYèRE AND CIDER FONDUE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 300°F. Heat heavy large skillet over high heat. Add kielbasa slices and sauté until browned on both sides, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to baking sheet and place in oven to keep warm.
• Toss cheese and cornstarch in large bowl to coat. Bring hard cider and vinegar just to simmer in medium saucepan over medium heat. Reduce heat to medium low (mixture should be barely simmering). Add a handful of cheese to simmering cider mixture. Stir until cheese is melted. Add remaining cheese 1 handful at a time, stirring until melted between additions. Increase heat to medium and cook until fondue begins to bubble, stirring constantly. Stir in Calvados. Season to taste with pepper.
• Transfer fondue to pot. Set fondue pot atop stand; light candle or canned heat burner. Arrange sausage slices, apple slices, and bread cubes in bowls alongside fondue pot.
• Alcoholic apple cider; available in the liquor department of most supermarkets and at liquor stores.

FONDUE FOR TWO

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees. On a rimmed baking sheet, toss potatoes with oil; roast 10 to 12 minutes. Flip; push to one side and add bread cubes. Continue to roast until potatoes are golden and tender and bread is crisp, 8 to 10 minutes more.
• Reserve 1 tablespoon wine. In a small cast-iron pot, heat remaining wine with kirsch over low. Slowly add both cheeses, stirring in one direction until melted. Add nutmeg. In a small bowl, stir together lemon juice, cornstarch, and reserved wine. Slowly stir into pot; continue to cook over low heat, stirring, until mixture thickens and comes together, 4 to 5 minutes. Transfer to a fondue pot; keep warm. Serve with fennel, apple, salami, bread cubes and sticks, and potatoes.
